DAYTON — Tabloids love to claim that celebrity moms are "just like us."
But with some stars decked out in fancy designer duds and gobs of makeup en route to the park with their kids, it's clear they might be more interested in being photographed than spending quality time with their children.
But the following celebrities dispel all cynicism: they are relatable, admirable moms who always put their children first. Sounds "just like us," right?
1. Julia Roberts: The down-to-earth mom of three protects her brood from the paparazzi instead of flaunting them.
2. Jenny McCarthy: Forget her sexpot image: she fights for autism awareness in the name of her son.
3. Maria Shriver: Although shrouded in the spotlight of Hollywood and politics, the grounded mother has taught her children humbleness.
4. Tori Spelling: The actress has shifted focus from being the heir of her father's estate to selflessly caring for her children.
5. Toni Braxton: Like McCarthy, she is an advocate for her autistic son and plays an active role in her children's lives.
6. Demi Moore: She remains on good terms with her children's father, Bruce Willis, while integrating new husband, Ashton, into her three girls' lives.
7. Cindy Crawford: The supermodel maintains a sense of normalcy, opting to stay home with her kids rather than to attend her hubby's bar opening.
8. Gwen Stefani: The diva and fashionista seems to effortlessly balance motherhood and her flourishing career.
9. Jennifer Garner: Although the paparazzi do manage to snap photos of her daughter, Jennifer simply carries on with her daily life without a care.
10. Kelly Ripa: Her frank child-rearing anecdotes on "Live with Regis and Kelly" reveal that she has kept her family life afloat as her popularity grows.
The above list was chosen by the editorial staff at BettyConfidential.com, an entertainment news Web site.

I disagree, it’s unfair to tar all with the same brush. Think I sense slight jealousy going on here. I agree with Natalies article. Although not forgetting Angelina, Katie Price and Katie Cruise also.
